Shivva Class Zhodani Patrol Frigate
"Ubiquitous Zhodani Navy design most frequently encountered of the types deployed beyond the Consulate frontier districts. The class is deployed on various independant picket, communications and patrol duties, often well beyond Zhodani boarders. The crew is known to include a Psionic Adept, who in addition to normal navigation duties is believed to augment the range and strength of a special communications system, which may explain the posting - Adepts are usually only assigned to capital classes of vessel.
Sample names (-va = light, thus Shivva = moonlight) Alekrva, Brnava, Doruva, Jadsva, Jirtova, Loyhva, Meilrva, Shivva, Uturva.
Classified Naval Files Data: The Psionic Adept carried aboard does not, as origially feared, control an interstellar communications system. Instead, he serves as as a central direction officer for the ten fighter pilots, conveying battle information and tactical instructions. (Ship Tactics levels for the adept are conveyed as tactical skill to each of the pilots.)" - From Adventure 4 Leviathan
The ship is featured in Adventure 3:Twilight's peak, 4:Leviathan, 6:Expedition to Zhodane, and 7:Broadsword
